This week is National Carers week - if you are in this position, we have a brilliant Online Talk available to watch now.

NWR Caregiving, How to Avoid Burnout with Hazel Carter talks about how Hazel managed to juggle the hectic world she found herself in.

Hear about the different things she did to look after herself, physically and mentally, and learn from the lessons she now shares with carers to help them avoid burnout.

This week is National Volunteers week and we wanted to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our NWR Volunteers.

A huge, huge thank you to all of our NWR Volunteers, we appreciate everything you do!
